Dunston allotments

Residents of Market Lane, Dunston, have raised concerns about the state of the allotments on both sides of the road with local ouncillor, Yvonne McNicol. As a result she raised the matter with the relevant council department.

Yvonne Said, “Officers have confirmed that the allotments on both sides of the road have been inspected. They also report that a recently unoccupied site has now been re-let and improvements are taking place.

“Occupiers have confirmed that with the right weather they can begin to attend their plots again now that summer time is upon us. Hopefully, once work recommences on the plots the tidiness of the area in question should improve.”

Meanwhile, Councillor Jonathan Wallace has asked Council Officers to look into the problem of rats in the area of the Marley ill allotments. The issue was raised with him by local residents.
